We're Cruising!

After two nights in Rome, we boarded the Celebrity Equinox cruise ship on Monday. We have been really looking forward to this part of the trip because it means 11 nights in the same bed, our own room, hanging our wrinkled clothing, time to fill up on shampoo supplies, access to a blow dryer, a break from maps and public transit, a wide variety of vegetables, etc! When we went to the lunch buffet and were blown away by the variety... we were both grinning and pointing out exciting foods (like tomatoes, peppers, pineapple, etc... we have tried to eat healthy meals but veggies haven't been the easiest to come across in European restaurants).

 
This whole trip is such a gift from God and this cruise feels like the ultimate cherry on top. We are humbled in thankfulness as we don't deserve any of this but continue to seek and praise Him.

We have limited access to internet while on the boat so although we are still able to blog, we probably won't be able to post as many pictures (I have to load pictures to our Blogsy App when online). Anyways, here is our cruise itinerary:

  • Monday - Rome
  • Tuesday - at sea
  • Wednesday - Santorini, Greece
  • Thursday - at sea
  • Friday - Istanbul, Turkey
  • Saturday - Istanbul, Turkey
  • Sunday - Ephesus, Turkey
  • Monday - Mykonos, Greece
  • Tuesday - Athens, Greece
  • Wednesday - at sea
  • Thursday - Naples
  • Friday - Rome
Unreal! We are enjoying every bit... this sure is a trip of a lifetime! Hope to post Santorini pictures soon (thats where we will go today) but here are some pictures from formal night... we felt very underdressed next to tuxedos and stilettos because Andy was wearing his black running shoes and I was wearing flip flops... ha!
